No Comment TV is a YouTube Channel that provides news stories but without any commentary:
‘Welcome to NoComment TV – the Channel for euronews’ unique programme.
At euronews we believe in the intelligence of our viewers and we think that the mission of a news channel is to deliver facts without any opinion or bias, so that the viewers can make their own opinion on world events.
We also think that sometimes images need no explanation or commentary, which is why we created No Comment and now No Comment TV: to show the world from a different angle.’
In my mind this makes them ready to have students add commentaries using either audacity or Windows Movie Maker or similar programme. The following video ‘Coastguards intercepted a boat with African migrants’ would be a good follow up to the Mystery Ghost Ship.

A busy week with a series of minor updates to geographyalltheway.com as well as some research into some future resources (a bypass project in the French Pyrenees and a flood management case study in the UK).
Online Geography Resources Showcase
I have added this Showcase to try and show some of the resources which people may not know about. Let me know if you think that there are any resources on geographyalltheway.com that you think should be added to the Showcase.
You can see the Showcase by clicking on the link which is found in the header of each webpage:
geographyalltheway.com Newsletter
I have changed the form used to subscribe to the geographyalltheway.com Newsletter. I’m now using a Google Form as I believe that it should be allowed through more/most firewalls etc. Please let me know if you have issues accessing the form and I’ll try to improve the accessibility further.
Talking Head – Text Versions of Speech
I have added text versions of what the Talking Head characters say in the Greetings from Hallsands, Seaside Tours and Niagara Tours resource mini-sites – just for those very rare times that SitePal doesn’t play ball an the characters lose their voice. It also helps the accessibility of the speech to EAL students and those with hearing issues.
Submit a question
I have added a link so that teachers/educators using the Talking Head interviews from the Seaside Tours and Niagara Tours mini-sites can submit additional questions. If I get enough suggestions – I’ll add those questions.
